new portfile for RKWard

[meik.michalke@…]

this portfile was written and tested by the RKWard team during the past weeks. it will build RKWard directly from the SVN trunc, hence the "-devel" in the port name. once the next stable release is due, we're also planning to add an "rkward" portfile accordingly.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Some comments:

• We can't accept a port that fetches its sources directly from svn trunk. Please use a specific svn.revision. Probably that revision, or its corresponding date, should then be a part of the port's advertised version, something like "version 0.5.7-${svn.revision}". The plus sign should probably never appear in the version field; it would probably cause problems since that's the symbol we use to request variants.
• In the pre-configure block, there's no need to use "system" to make a directory. Just use the "file mkdir" tcl command. You probably also want to do this at post-extract instead of pre-configure, so that, if the configure fails for some reason and the user retries it, you won't be trying to create a directory that already exists.
• Since you're using cmake to configure this port, have you considered using the cmake portgroup? It might simplify things. It would, for one thing, add the required build-time dependency on cmake that you're currently lacking.

Looking at the macports-tickets archives, it looks like no notification is generated for updated attachments (the updated Portfile in this case), and the "last modified" field continues to show "12 months ago". So I'll use this comment for a ping.

Ryandesign's comments had already been addressed around one year ago. The most recent update to the Portfile (2 days ago) points to the latest stable release of RKWard, instead of just a development snapshot. Could you please consider the udpated Portfile for inclusion?

Hi, I just gave installing RKWard a go on Mavericks, but I ran into this error:

I haven't tried to update svn.revision according to your repository up to now... Will check that next.

Still, the portfile attached to this ticket doesn't build on Mavericks as is.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

So, I just updated to svn.revision 4783, but the error persists.

When I simply comment out line 1466 in rbackend.cpp I am able to install the port no problem.

It's RKWard icon appears in my launchpad! :-)

At startup however I get an unspecified error presented, which is probably due to my change above:

If click Cancel or select "Start with an empty workspace" in the "What would you like to do?" dialog instead, I see the the RKWard start screen. :-)

I will also attach a tar.bz2 archive containing the .rkward folder containing two recovery files created by RKWard.

BTW, if I click Cancel in the "What would you like to do?" dialog and then click on the Workspace tab on the top left of the main window I cause another crash:

Funnily enough, if I click first on the Files tab and only then click on the Workspace tab the crash does not occur!

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hacking line 1466 apart revealed that R_SVN_REVISION is the reason for this. Could be that here on my system its contents is indeed not a string literal.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

OK, I have tried to use your latest portfiles and ran with the 0.6.1 release as well as with the devel port into a crash at startup:

Now that you're using gcc47 for building it doesn't complain anymore about R_SVN_REVISION.

My previous trials to run have been much more successful, right?! ;-)

[thomas.friedrichsmeier@…]

Hi!

Thanks for taking a look at the portfile, and sorry to hear it does not work for you. I did not get a chance to test on Maverick, yet, so this could well be a factor.

Regarding the crashes in comment:7 through comment:9 : Well, that is embarassing, but I believe all of this comes down to the problem starting the backend, and then code at other places does not do enough error checking to handle this - unexpected - condition, gracefully.

Regarding comment:11, this looks like a more serious problem. The backtraces don't show the point of failure inside RKWard's code. So either a) the backtraces are just too short. Could you try starting rkward as /opt/local/bin/rkward.frontend.app/Contents/MacOS/rkward --debug-level 5 . On the console you should see a line giving the location of debug output. Attach the latest rkward.frontend.XYZ file from that location. b) the problem could be more fundamental. Do other KDE apps start ok (try kwrite, for instance)?

Thanks!

[thomas.friedrichsmeier@…]

Of, and an addition: RKWard 0.6.0 cannot be used with R 3.0.x. The compilation problem with R_SVN_REVISON is just the earliest, not only symptom of that.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hi Thomas, I'll have to let you wait regarding this issue for now, since I am off into holidays for over a week.

But this might give you enough time to figure out how to adapt your current portfile so that it builds with MacPorts' version of R. ;-)

Greets, Marko

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I've just committed a new portfile for port rkward in r119488 since it built and ran fine for me on OSX 10.6.8!

I am not closing this issue since I haven't yet tested it on 10.9.2 and not yet introduced the rkward-devel port.

​RKWard's port files

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

OK, eventually introduced portfile for port rkward-devel in r119489, but with a specified SVN version which will also be kept in the port's name once installed:

$ port installed rkward-devel
The following ports are currently installed:
  rkward-devel @0.6.1-4784_0 (active)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Test installation and running on Mavericks still pending, that's why revert erroneously close.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Please fix rkward-binary and rkward-devel-binary so they don’t attempt to create directories every time the portfile is parsed.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Replying to jmr@…:

Please fix rkward-binary and rkward-devel-binary so they don’t attempt to create directories every time the portfile is parsed.

OK, jmr, I guess I'll dump those variants totally as a quick and dirty fix.

Thanks for letting me know.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Done so in r119496. (I don't think we need the devel and binary subports for now.)

Meik, can you perhaps supply an fixed version (wrt directory creation) of those port files?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I noticed that it was necessary to install gcc47 AND gcc48. According to RKWard's portfile it needs to use gcc47:

if {${configure.compiler} == "clang"} {
        # force the use of gcc 4.7 to be able to link with R-framework
        depends_lib-append   port:gcc47

but R itself requires gcc48...

I guess one could simply try to use gcc48 also for rkward.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

OK, on Mavericks I do call kbuildsycoca4:

$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
$ /opt/local/bin/rkward.frontend.app/Contents/MacOS/rkward.frontend --debug-level 5
rkward(21944)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/private/var/tmp/kdecache-marko/ksycoca4"
Killed: 9
$

Crash log will get attached...

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Crash log with more debug output

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

In r119498 I made rkward(-devel) use gcc 4.8, but it did not help to avoid the crashing.

[thomas.friedrichsmeier@…]

Hi!

Regarding gcc 4.7 vs 4.8: This should not matter, indeed. gcc 4.7 vs < 4.7 *did* matter due to ABI changes. The portfile was forcing gcc 4.7, because this was what R was using at the time of writing.

Don't call rkward.frontend app, directly. This is not expected to work. (Ok, it's not really expected to crash, either, but the backtrace you get from this is unlikely to have anything to do with the "real" issue). Always use the wrapper shell script "rkward".

Also, could you attach RKWard's own debug logs? These should be generated in $TMPDIR, one for the frontend, one for the backend. These are most verbous at --debug-level 5.

Thanks!

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hi Thomas,

I think we've got to do something about the currently existing portfiles for rkward(-devel) since I just spotted ​a post by Ryan who highlights major issues.

Although he also refers to the already removed debug and binary subports, there is still enough to chew on.

As I don't have time to do this now, I have to leave it for today and hope you might find the time to go through his post and commit a patch for the currently committed Portfiles.

Greets, Marko

hi marko,

Replying to mk@…:

I think we've got to do something about the currently existing portfiles for rkward(-devel) since I just spotted ​a post by Ryan who highlights major issues.

thanks for this valuable feedback! i did my best to sort things out and fix our portfile accordingly. some things that have changed:

only the rkward portfile is intended to be added to MacPorts, not the rkward-devel portfile. that was actually the case in the first place, but i forgot to mention it earlier :-/ i've also removed the binary subport from the rkward portfile, so it should now be in line with MacPorts policies. in effect, the portfile is much lighter now. unfortunately, the current stable release needs a patch to build until we're ready to release 0.6.2, i'll attach that, too.

viele grüße :: m.eik

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hi Meik,

please always submit diffs to the currently existing port file, which makes it easier for the maintainer to review changes here on trac. (For now it is good, no need to update this ticket just because of that.)

OK, if the rkward-devel port is not to be made public I'll declare it as obsolete and replaced_by reward.

Thanks for your submission!

Greets, Marko

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

step 1: rkward-devel replacement done in r119605

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

step 2: rkward committed in r119608 with the following changes:

• remove pre-pkg (Was not working properly. Is it really needed here on MacPorts after all?)
• remove master_sites since you're fetching the sources via SVN

But as it turned out building on all 4 buildbots failed due to missing dep automoc.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

step 3: rkward update in r119609 includes:

• fetches tarball from SF (avoiding SVN fetch)
• uses portgroup kde4 instead of cmake (to address the missing automoc)
• adapt worksrcdir

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hi Meik & Thomas,

it might be valuable information for you to check the MacPorts buildbot's warnings:

• ​10.6
• ​10.7
• ​10.8
• ​10.9

which are certainly cluttered with stuff from other KDE apps as well, but some of it directly relates to RKWard.

OK, but in principle RKWard should now be usable on all 4 OSX versions.

Greets, Marko

P.S.: If you've got updates to the portfile, please just commit a diff against the ​its current version for easy review.

[thomas.friedrichsmeier@…]
